To ALL WHOM IT MAY ooNoERN;

Be it known that I, JOHN KOYL, ofRoekford, in the county of Winnebago,and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement inClinchers, for use in elinehing the nails in s hoeing horses; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full7 clear, and exactdescription ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making part of this specification, in whichthe same is shown inelevation.

'Ihe invention consists in making the steel faces-of the clineheradjustable by setting themon hinges, which allow them to conformthemselves to the various forms of hoofs.

The parts A and B are in the form shown in the drawings, and are of theVordinary construction. The heads A and B are made of steel or othermetal hard enough to resist the nail, and attached by a lug on theirbacks, passing into a recess eut in the faces of the clincher by meansof a pivot passing through; the parte being so arranged that the headA', which is intended to rest under and Vagainst the shoe, may, byturning on its pivot, adjust itself to the bottom of the shoe, while thehead B receives the point of the nail and clinches it. I also give aslighter vibration to the head B', though this may be made stationary.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

A clinche, when constructed with adjustable heads A or B', substantiallyas set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN KOYL.
